Tweeting for Life
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Monday, November 08, 2010
Last week’s Twitter trend of tweeting “I had an abortion” started people talking about life issues on Twitter.
I wrote a column for the Washington Post that challenged the wisdom of women cheerfully tweeting about their abortions and shutting those who regret their abortions out of the conversation.
Then I was officially “in it” on Twitter.
I had some thoughtful conversations with people who disagree with me, but I was also treated to enough angry vitriol that I decided we could better serve the pro-life cause with positive action. So I asked pro-lifers on Twitter to use an #IAmProLife hashtag and tell us why. I will be re-tweeting people’s responses at my Twitter account all day today.
If you are on Twitter, please join us in making a positive statement in defense of the unborn. And encourage your followers to do the same. Let your pro-life voice be heard!
How to Use Twitter Without Going Insane
Posted by Melissa Wiley in Reviews on Thursday, March 11, 2010
Yesterday I talked about some reasons you might be interested in using Twitter. Today we’ll look at how to do that without being driven nuts by the blur of disconnected information.
When you log into Twitter, you land on your home page. That’s where you’ll see the tweets of everyone you “follow.” You also have a Twitter profile page. That’s where all your tweets are collected in one place. Here’s... READ MORE
5 Reasons I Love Twitter
Posted by Melissa Wiley in Reviews on Wednesday, March 10, 2010
1) Speed and Ease.
It’s the fastest, easiest way I’ve found to jot down the funny things my kids say, the delicious moments that flit past so quickly: the things I want to remember forever—but won’t, if I don’t record them. I used to use little slips of paper stuck to the fridge, or notebooks that were never at hand when I needed them. A friend recently referred to these home-life tweets as “the art... READ MORE
My Ten Commandments for Twitter
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Wednesday, November 18, 2009
This week’s article on CNN about rocker Courtney Love’s legal woes for slamming a fashion designer on Twitter have me thinking about what laws God might have handed down to Moses had Twitter.com been the pervasive communications tool back then that it is these days. No doubt, rather than having been inscribed upon stone tablets, the Lord’s laws would have been dictated in bite sized bullets of less... READ MORE
Tweeting Miscarriage and Abortion
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Friday, October 02, 2009
In a disturbing clash betweeen the culture of death and new media, blogger Penelope Trunk has garnered a storm of media attention with a recent twitter entry in which she expressed relief at suffering a miscarriage so she wouldn’t have to bother with getting an abortion.
The above clip is from Rick Sanchez on CNN where he interviews Trunk about her attention-getting tweet,... READ MORE
Tweet Out
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Friday, August 07, 2009
You may have heard about yesterday’s Twitter blackout, when the uber-popular social networking site was the target of a “denial-of-service attack” that left the site out-of-commission for several hours.
I was aware of the problem, which from my vantage looked basically like a three-hour gap in information. I was actually offline the entire time Twitter was down, and by the time I got online it was... READ MORE
Twitter Gets Trendy
Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Friday, April 17, 2009
It’s been a big week for the quirky social networking site Twitter.com. First came the ongoing news coverage of the “race” between celebrity Ashton Kutcher and CNN’s Breaking News Feed (think Anderson Cooper) to amass a million followers on Twitter. Kutcher ended up having to make good on his promise to donate 10,000 mosquito net beds to a World Malaria Day charity by beating CNN to the punch. ... READ MORE
